Do you often feel like you're caught in a cycle of frustration, guilt, and anxiety, even when you're trying your hardest? For many adults living with unmanaged ADHD, this emotional rollercoaster is a daily reality. It’s often referred to as the "emotional toll" or even part of the "ADHD Tax"—the hidden costs that go beyond missed deadlines and disorganization, deeply impacting your inner world.

Are you constantly rushing, forgetting appointments, or making impulsive purchases you later regret? Do you feel like you're always playing catch-up, spending extra time and money just to keep your head above water? If so, you're likely familiar with the "ADHD Tax" – a term that describes the hidden costs and consequences of unmanaged Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Living with Adult ADHD can often feel like trying to build a complex structure without a blueprint, or constantly battling a brain that seems to have a mind of its own. You might know what you need to do, but actually doing it, consistently, feels like an insurmountable challenge.

This is where Occupational Therapy (OT) for ADHD steps in.

Occupational Therapy for Adult ADHD offers a comprehensive and robust pathway to achieving clarity, focus, and a life lived by design.

As Occupational Therapists, Evidence-based Practice is a cornerstone of our approach. But most people don’t know that the exciting part of Evidence-Based Practice is that it is the synergy of scientific evidence, the clinician’s experiences, and the client’s values and experiences.
